ouch that's nasty so you would be paying (in the uk) £230 for the enclosure, approx £60 for a new modular PSU then have to make a permanent jumper & buy a GPU
for a box with a cheap PSU & a £30 adaptor dell sure know how to make money
Obviously, I have now idea if this would work with your laptop but for the cost saving i would be tempted to spend some time in the DIY eGPU section of the forum I believe there are other models with different adaptors just have to ask around and look

but hey at least their not as bad as apple ... yet
or you could look & see if somewhere will sell you just the F.Alienware graphics amplifier PCIe connector & cableLast edited by a moderator: Aug 7, 2016ZeneticX likes this. -
Despite all the changes they've made to their laptops, the current Alienwares are actually the best when it comes to eGPU solutions. Users can choose to run the AGA off the proprietary port, or use a 3rd party eGPU with the TB3 port, or DIY solutions than run on whichever port. There's choices to choose from, can't say the same for other laptops
Still nothing beat good ol DTRs -
why do things in this forum keep becoming hyperlinks?

Not sure where you're from but the forum is fine for me today. Sometimes just a refresh needed

It's true though...AW does have the most diverse option due to their very own AGA. Razer on the other hand can't say the same as they can not use the proprietary AW port. That is not to say that proprietary is good, but in a way I think AW is in some way banking off the idea that they have this proprietary port to expound on their retarded decisions with the direction that they are going. -
i think from what I've read though that the F.Ailenware graphics amplifier is only 4x is that right?
i think we might be getting a bit to off topic though -
TB3 is theoretically the same but you hav eoverhead when the PCI express signal is going to be converted to TB3. Also the AGA has the USB ports etc on a separate line. The Razer core for example does the GPU & USB ports on the same line. When you transfer data while playing a game, the GPU suddenly drops to a crawl. Dave2D did a test and the AGA was a bit faster in practice than the Razer core. The Razer core does work on the current Alienware laptops too by the way.iunlock likes this. -

dx12 multi adapter with aga + core?
also, how is the usb a separate line on the aga compared to the core? both device uses one cable. -
it seams all of them on the market that aren't thunderbolt three (even the DIY setups) are all pcie 4x
strange thing I've found someone who says they have a eGPU sli set up on thunderbolt two working but to run sli you need 8x and the adapter he is using is only 4x

Titans in the news today
MSI 1080 SLI i7 6920HQ $4999
MSI GT83VR Titan SLI-024 from XoticPC
_________________
I'm off track. I posted these pics to show the (ugly) custom 24pin ATX cable is about half the length of a standard 24p found in typical pouches; if this person can pull off a swap, it has to include the fact the new ~24inch ATX cable can fit in that space & allow the swing-arm to close fully. From there, the other modular cables (which won't be custom lengths) also have to fit. Variables pile-up, so I wish the person & his Alien luck in that tight space. The stock 850w chassis is 8inches long, typical 850s are 6.5-7, he's ordered a 650w at 6inches, so there's hope some space will open up at the modular end for the cables ... how or if a 6" 650w can translate into any 850-1000w working in there is an unknown. I wish he'd tried an 850, but someone will at some point & we'll get an answer, maybe the one we want to hear
_______________If given the choice, I'm sure I'd rather work for OriginPC, where they get to play with real hardware, & don't have to feel bad for their buyers since they install all name-brand stuff, all of which has to pass public & market scrutiny
"The ORIGIN Difference
Every ORIGIN PC is built & supported in the United States with name brand, non-proprietary components providing optimal performance & maximum upgrade-ability"
Would I buy an Origin? No. But when given the choice, I like to think I'd rather work there than across the street in Alien World. Employees at both companies can sympathize over high-prices posted by management, but, at least Origin employees can sleep at night knowing the customer gets name-brand hardware in trade for the high price
I think Alien employees sleep better at night knowing their customers don't. I doubt the non-80 460 in Aurora & AGA causes the slightest shiver, they may be proud of it for all I know. Screwing the unknowing ill-advised customer is a paycheck they can look forward to each Friday
Dellware: not invited to the Titan Party

Thank Goodness too
Let's see. Now that TRex is $1200 MSRP, that'd mean the Aliens want 1750 --> am I wrong or am I right. Yeah, we don't want or need them to be invited on the System Builder's list, lol
Speaking of ...
Alienware Amplifier and New Pascal Titan X card
Here we have a very brave soul, who's ready to strap his pricey Tx to Ol' Sparky. $1200 card strapped to a $25 power supply ... you read that right ...
"Spent hours with NVIDIA & more hours with DELL today trying to get it to work. It sees the card but drivers are no good yet. Long story short, waiting on new drivers or BIOS upgrade for the new Titan X (Pascal) to work , went back to GTX 1080 FE, until new NVIDIA drivers or DELL BIOS or driver is released".
See my Rule of Thumb above please1080FE don't like walking the long Green Mile with Ol' Sparky either
Bar-be-que!
Me an' You!
Stinky Pinky!
Pew! Pew! Pew!

TB was never made for more bandwidth but the AGA and MSI solutions just are bottlenecked by what the CPU can give. -

They already did that. The gpu is running at 8x, AGA port 4X, 1x PCI express on, the other SSD at 2x and TB3 on 4x. -
for those wanting to know what a PLX chip (or equivalent) is here is a good explanation:
